#The National Advisor Wen Di#

The day after they cursed that the cast would be dismissed, the above words landed on the top search from out of nowhere.

To be honest, fans of the original were a little confused.

Some even didn’t know who Wen Di was. After all, they were in a different circle and didn’t take a fancy on artists.

But after they clicked the top search...

What the hell!

A female?!

[Is it serious? When did my Advisor change his gender? If so, how can he make me happy!]

[Who is Wen Di, why could she play my Advisor!]

[Is there something wrong with the crew!]

[Well, the final makeup photo... looks handsome...]

[Upstairs, are you a spy? Even if she looks handsome, she’s a woman! My grand Advisor can’t be a woman! I don’t care! She must be changed! Or I won’t watch!]

[It’ll ruin the original, with a woman playing a man’s role? Crazy.]

Fans of the original novel had expressed dissatisfaction.

They wouldn’t watch it if the crew didn’t change her.

And of course there were some people who said they wouldn’t watch it even if the actress was replaced, because no one could capture the essence of the original novel.

TV series must ruin the original novel.

In addition to that, it would be a battlefield between Ming Shu’s anti-fans and true-love fans.

[Wen Di, get out of showbiz!]

[Tourist Party of Wen Di’s Anti-fans]

[Tourist Party of Wen Di’s Lifelong Anti-fans signed in.]

[Tourist Party of Wen Di’s Lifetime Anti-fans clocked in.]

[Dizi is so handsome, I’m licking the screen now.]

[Dizi, I will marry you. Will you marry me? ]

[I declare that Dizi will be my husband!]

[Get away, Dizi is my husband!]

[My mom asked me why I was kneeling to look at my phone... Because Dizi’s handsome face made my legs soften.]

[Wen Di V: I think I’m pretty handsome. Those who don’t think I’m handsome are all blind.]

Ming Shu posted this to Weibo and then riled her numerous anti-fans in succession.

Including the fans of the original book World.

Liang Che held his phone and covered his forehead speechlessly.

Couldn’t she just be quiet?

The photo was zoomed on the phone’s screen.

It was black and white with a cool tone. Advisor showed “his” comely face with a fan in his hand, looking coldly at the camera without much emotion.

Behind him the city was blurred with inky mountains and rivers.

He was a national Advisor who played with politics and calculations.

He was also a national Advisor who was unperturbed and as cold as an immortal.

Maybe it was the momentum that came out of the person in the photo that made people ignore her feminine features.

From an objective point of view, if you didn’t look very carefully, you wouldn’t have noticed “he” was a girl.

Therefore, some passersby who were neither anti-fans or true-love fans, nor had read the book, were attracted by the photo and prepared to pay attention to this young miss.

Yet as soon as they clicked, they retreated.

The anti-fans’ fighting capacity was almost invincible.

Scary.

...

When Cui Jingyang read the news, the expression on his face became unfathomable. The secretary stood beside him, beads of sweat dripping onto the floor.

Pa!

Cui Jingyang threw his tablet PC at the secretary’s feet directly. The tablet couldn’t stand the impact, and its screen cracked into cobwebs.

The secretary seemed to see his own end.

“Bo... Boss...”

“Why is she on the show!” Cui Jingyang questioned angrily.

“...I—I... I don’t know.” The secretary wanted to cry but had no tears. Didn’t you personally handle the matter?

Of course the secretary didn’t dare say that.

He would die sooner if he just said it.

“Boss... I—I—I... I’ll go look into that immediately!”

Seeing Cui Jingyang didn’t oppose, the secretary sneaked out quickly.

The news came quickly. It was some investor who had requested to use Ming Shu.

Cui Jingyang asked to meet that investor, but the latter refused to meet him.

In the end, the investor was probably pushed too hard and went abroad.

He didn’t want to be greeted respectfully by that “little grandaunt” again.

He just wanted to take advantage of her low period... and suppress her with some hidden rules.

But he went for wool and came home shorn.

Now she was the respected little grandaunt.

He dared not provoke her.

It was also no good to offend Cui Jingyang, but he was not that scared of Hengfeng Group... The family would handle it for him anyway.

He’d better go abroad for shelter.

...

Gu Xi had been avoiding Ming Shu, so even when she met her, she just greeted her and left in a hurry.

Cui Jingyang didn’t take further action these days.

He may have been angered to craziness, or was planning on something big in secret.

Even though she was rejected by the staff members, Ming Shu had a good time on set.

Every day, she’d just film her scenes and cultivate a kind relationship with her anti-fans.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed.

As soon as Ming Shu got up, she heard people talking in the crew.

“It’s snowing...”

“So cold. I don’t even want to move.”

There happened to be some snow scenes in the drama. Everyone had to shoot in the snow, which was freezing for sure.

The winter part was fine, at least the costumes were quite thick. Big brothers like Ming Shu, as the Advisor, could have a pocket warmer.

But there weren’t many winter scenes. After all the winter parts were finished, they had to wear very little to continue the shooting again.

There was a scene where Ming Shu needed to be in the water. You could imagine how cold it was to stay in water in winter.

In order to keep the scene from the book as authentic as possible, the director proposed to change the water scene to indoors, but was vetoed by the screenwriter and author.

In this scene, the actors were Ming Shu and Gu Xi.

Ming Shu was sitting by the water and eating drumsticks, while Gu Xi was warming herself by a fire on the other side, looking a little tense.

Filming was originally very hard.

The crew was spending money every day. It was impossible for them to postpone a scene until appropriate weather.

“Director, shall we begin?”

Ming Shu waited for almost half a day, but Gu Xi’s side still was quiet.

“Let’s finish this part early, so that we can go back to eat early!”

Director: “...”

Eat eat eat!

All you know about is to eat!

The director himself went over and spoke to Gu Xi; Gu Xi then stood up and walked over with a thick coat on her.

The director said, “Let’s finish this in one take.”

Gu Xi nodded.

The director didn’t even look at Ming Shu and directly told the staff members to get ready.

Ming Shu threw her coat aside, stepping on the edge of the water. “Little cutie, how about you jump first.”

The scene started straight from the water, as the part happening on the bank had been shot yesterday.

Taking one look at her, Gu Xi pulled off her cloak and gave it to her assistant.

Director shouted, “Ready?”

Gu Xi took a deep breath and jumped into the water while gritting her teeth.

The water was really cold. Before Gu Xi could walk two more steps, her legs and feet were numb.

It was the feeling of blood freezing all over her body.

Ming Shu followed her in.

When they took their places, Gu Xi had to adjust the expression on her face. Fortunately, there were not many facial expressions to be shot in the water, only a few close-ups.

As the director shouted action, Ming Shu immediately sank under the water.

Gu Xi needed to take her back to the bank, then this scene would be finished.

It would only be about two minutes...

Ming Shu saw Gu Xi come toward her stiffly. She grabbed her arm, pulled her out of the water, and moved with difficulty.

An icy current of water flew around her body.

It seemed liable to freeze a person’s blood.

Gu Xi’s expression became worse and worse.

Girls were physically weak, let alone such a spoiled young miss like Gu Xi.

Ming Shu heard that the assistant proposed to use a body double, but Gu Xi refused it. She wanted to finish it on her own.

The strength that held her suddenly disappeared.

Gu Xi suddenly began to move up and down in the water. She still pulled Ming Shu and pressed her downward.

Ming Shu: “...”

“What happened?”

“Hurry, help them up!”

Thump—

The water was splashing and several dark figures approached them quickly.

Ming Shu broke free from Gu Xi and got on the bank one step ahead.

“Cough cough...” Ming Shu wiped her face and the staff member took her coat and put it on her.
